Getting the Current Time
This section shows the way of getting the
current time of the system.
In this section, through the given program you can get
the current time in the proper format (Hour:Minute:Second AM/PM). This program
shows the current time by using the various methods of the Calendar
class. These are explained as follows:
Code Description:
Calendar:
Date is the special instance of the time. This class helps you to convert a date
format object into the integer fields like YEAR, MONTH, HOUR, MINUTE, SECOND
etc.
Calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE):
Above method gives you the minute value from the current time and MINUTE is
the predefined field of the Calendar class which returns the integer value i.e.
the minute value of the current time
Calendar.AM_PM:
Above field of the Calendar class returns the integer value 1, if the
current time is in the PM otherwise it returns 0 value which denotes the time is
in the AM period.
Here is the code of the program:
import java.util.*;
public class CurrentTime{
public static void main(String[] args){
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
String am_pm;
int hour = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR);
int minute = calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int second = calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND);
if(calendar.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == 0)
am_pm = "AM";
else
am_pm = "PM";
System.out.println("Current Time : " + hour + ":"
+ minute + ":" + second + " " + am_pm);
}
}
